    Todays science factoid is one for those of you who are feeling the burn after a heavy weekend. If you're feeling like ending it all, don't try to do so by holding your breath. You can’t kill yourself by holding your breath (if you hold it until you go unconscious, you begin to breath normally as soon as you do).

    This is a cool concept that has been hanging around for a while.

    http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-04/16/artificial-photosynthesis

    This would be proper groundbreaking given that energy generation, especially green energy generation is probably the greatest challenge facing future generations. The scary thing is that with the advances we've made in other areas, and the finite position we find oursleves in with oil and coal you would have thought that we'd have come up with something better than nuclear or wind by now.

    There is a cosnpiracy theory named 'free energy supression' which looks at this. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist but this is one that seems to make sense.

    You want dumbed down science? We've got BBC1 for that Wink

    Plus, there isn't really much science in a Rube Goldberg machine, it's vectors and momentum. Basic Newtonian science.

    At least one Indian guy who had a working model of water based energy disappeared off the face of the earth and that's just the one I know.

    Here is a science fact..

    It takes 8 minutes for the light from the sun to hit the Earth.

    It takes 8 minutes for a train to reach Ashton from Victoria.

    This always goes through my mind.

    HEAVEN IS HOTTER THAN HELL

    The temperature of heaven can be rather accurately computed. Our authority is the Bible, Isaiah 30:26 reads,

    Moreover, the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold as the light of seven days.


    Thus, heaven receives from the moon as much radiation as the earth does from the sun, and in addition seven times seven (forty nine) times as much as the earth does from the sun, or fifty times in all. The light we receive from the moon is one ten-thousandth of the light we receive from the sun, so we can ignore that. With these data we can compute the temperature of heaven: The radiation falling on heaven will heat it to the point where the heat lost by radiation is just equal to the heat received by radiation. In other words, heaven loses fifty times as much heat as the earth by radiation. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann fourth power law for radiation

    (H/E)4 = 50

    where E is the absolute temperature of the earth, 300°K (273+27). This gives H the absolute temperature of heaven, as 798° absolute (525°C).
    The exact temperature of hell cannot be computed but it must be less than 444.6°C, the temperature at which brimstone or sulfur changes from a liquid to a gas. Revelations 21:8: But the fearful and unbelieving... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone." A lake of molten brimstone [sulfur] means that its temperature must be at or below the boiling point, which is 444.6°C. (Above that point, it would be a vapor, not a lake.)
    We have then, temperature of heaven, 525°C. Temperature of hell, less than 445°C. Therefore heaven is hotter than hell.
